About

Dr. Eleonora La Fera is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing minimally invasive surgical outcomes for elderly patients with endometrial cancer. Her work critically compares laparoscopic and robotic surgical approaches, demonstrating that both platforms offer significant benefits for this vulnerable population, who often present with multiple clinical morbidities. In a pivotal 2021 multicenter study (16 citations), she established that minimally invasive surgery improves surgical and clinical outcomes in elderly endometrial cancer patients. Dr. La Fera has also advanced sentinel lymph node mapping techniques using indocyanine green, comparing bilateral detection rates between laparoscopic and robotic methods in a 2021 study (15 citations). Her innovative application of the Modified Frailty Index (mFI) to predict intraoperative and postoperative complications in older women undergoing minimally invasive surgery (2023, 10 citations) provides surgeons with a practical tool for preoperative risk stratification. Through these contributions, Dr. La Fera has helped define best practices for elderly cancer care, demonstrating that age alone should not preclude patients from benefiting from advanced surgical technologies.
